Tribe Schallplatten & CDs

Review: In terms of old-school nostalgia and resurrection, the Tribe label is killing it on all fronts at the moment - hands down! Just in time for the end of 2017, the crew come through with the second volume of The Dub I Lost, once again with the help of the most legendary and enigmatic producers to have graced the house scene. First up, Say & Rabone's "Avenue Of Dreams" is tweaked and re-worked from the master himself, Chicago's Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers, who delivers one of his wondrous journeys over the entirety of the A-side. The flip launches Alex Finkin's Vanina Project with a mesmerising house escapade by the name of "Im Leaving", presenters to us in its dub version, and Oral Deep's "Another Way", again a dub mix of the original cut, provides a solid, punchy house attack with a boastful bottom-end. Solid house groovers for all purposes.

Review: Zepherin shows off some different sides to his sound with one tune offering up what he does best and is well known for and one a classic remake of and already brilliant source tune by Leo Sunshipp. 'Give Me The Sunshine' is that exquisite eight-minute make over and it features help from rising US talent Russell Taylor and is a sunny kissed, drawn out and majestic jazz funk and disco fusion. Taylor also features on the A-side 'Ain't Gonna Do You Wrong' which is all big horns and elastic house bass. Two red hot gems.
